โThe Russian Navyโs Great Game
Strategic Culture Foundation (RSS)
No matter what firepower NATOโs navies can bring to bear in Russiaโs eastern backyard, they cannot prevail.
When Russiaโs navy recalls both the Anglo-German naval arms race, which helped precipitate the Great War and the Great Game Tzarist Russia played in Asia against Britain, they must feel confident about the future.
Russian President Putin no doubt had those precedents in mind when he recently told Russiaโs admirals that Russiaโs already formidable navy would be expanded to protect her entire coastline and project power from there to wherever it is needed. Although the Norwegian, Barents, Kara, Laptev, East Siberian, Chukchi, Bering, Okhotsk and Japan Seas add up to a lot of water, Russia, with the right tactics, is more than up to the job of protecting her coastlines and projecting power from them.
Not only would most of those seas be terrible vectors for any hostile power attacking Russia but NATOโs posturing towards North Korea and China has made the defensive job of the Russian navy infinitely easier. Instead of just concentrating on tweaking the tail of the Russian tiger, NATO got the brainwave of sending Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan to antagonize the entire Chinese navy. Although that is good news for NATOโs arms industry and for whoever else is in on Pelosiโs latest short trading Wall Street scam, it does indicate a major shift in the worldโs strategic goalposts because-China, with Iranโs impressive navy, is now solidly and permanently in Russiaโs camp. No more divide and conquer NATO games there.
And so, when the Chinese navy finishes their fun and games in the waters around Taiwan, Japanโs formidable navy will have to take stock and decide whether it should follow the U.S. 7th Fleet lemming-like into a confrontation with China or whether it should look out for number one, for Japan.
Although the Japanese Imperial Navy acquitted itself well at the beginning and the middle of the last century, next time will be very different as it could find itself standing almost alone against two blue water navies, that of Russia and the emerging one of the Peoples Republic of China. And all to satiate Americans like Wall Street inside trader Nancy Pelosi. Japan, which is in no position to project hard power, should sit this one out as there are just too many unknowns, one of which is the Russian navy.
Should matters escalate in Russiaโs eastern backyard, in, say, the Sea of Japan or the Taiwan Strait, what is to stop the Russian navy placing itself in the middle of the affray as the Soviet submarine fleet did in 1971, when the U.S. 7th fleet along with Perfidious Albionโs HMS Eagle and HMS Albion stood poised to sink the entire Indian navy in the Bay of Bengal? When the Soviet submarines surfaced in front of them, the British and American navies were forced to beat an ignominious retreat, just as they and their German poodle will have to retreat from the waters around Taipei once China spits the dummy.
No matter what firepower NATOโs navies can bring to bear in Russiaโs eastern backyard, they cannot prevail. As there will be no Battle of Jutland or Battle of Leyte Gulf turkey shoot this time round,...
